Copywriting

Persuasive, informative and succinct – three words that describe great digital copy. Copywriting for digital is fast becoming an art form, with a massive influx of businesses moving online and vying for attention, creating a crowded, noisy online space. A common mistake that many businesses make when communicating through online mediums is using the same iteration of copy across all channels. Offering copywriting as a service, we start by developing a clear understanding of your business – its offering, objectives and its customers. Coupling this with our knowledge and experience with the various mediums available, we compose and tailor copy to suit the various channels through which its consumption is intended. Written for purpose, some of the channels we frequently write copy for include: – Websites – Email newsletters – Emails – Surveys – Social media – Promotional Material etc. For digital copy that makes itself heard, that is amendable and adaptable around the clock, do not hesitate to get in touch.

Website Maintenance

As one of the first, leading touch-points that customers and potential customers have with your business, your website is extremely important. With time, consumers have come to expect more from websites. They know just what they are looking for, and should be able to find it as easily as possible. Purpose-built websites and apps are just one of our specialties. For those websites we haven’t directly had a hand in creating, we offer enhancement and maintenance services to ensure that it is adding as much value as possible to your business.

The strength of any website lies in customers’ ability to find it. SEO, for those who might not know it, stands for ‘Search Engine Optimization’. Our SEO Services enhance the organic ‘findability’ of your site and improve your rankings and overall visibility. We adhere always to industry best practice and leave no stone unturned. Optimizing your web properties in this way not only guarantees better rankings in search results, but is also highly likely to increase traffic to your websites, hike conversion rates and goal-completions and improve the end-user experience overall. Search Engine Optimization boosts online prominence and makes it easier to find for those in search of your products or services. SEO is recommended for all online properties, from businesses and online stores to blogs, community platforms and beyond.

Information Architecture

Echoing the priorities of User Experience Design, in order for the digital offering to be effective, the information has to be structured and arranged so as to be easily navigable and easy to use for the end user. Increased awareness of this requirement has spawned a variety of tools and techniques, which we employ in providing this service to our clients, including: – Sitemaps & Indexing – Split Testing (A/B Testing) – Prototyping – Card Sorting, Tree Testing & Click Testing & Eye Tracking Content Inventories

User Experience Design centres the design of a digital interface around the experience of the end-user. A process of many processes, UX Design incorporates information architecture, design practices and principles, research, testing and prototyping – to altogether balance the objectives of both users and stakeholders in a mutually-beneficial state. Most experienced internet users will inherently know good UX design from poor – or non-existent UX design. As the demand for digital products and services increases, good UX Design becomes exponentially more important for businesses wishing to be successful. We offer UX Design as a service, be it for new digital interfaces, or for existing ones in need of enhancements.

The internet has revolutionized the ways in which we can understand consumer behavior. Using powerful Web analytics tools, businesses can keep their fingers on the pulse at all times, with the ability to measure almost any aspect of user’s behavior both on websites and apps, as well as real-time progress of offline business goals. We also conduct and implement multi-variant testing, which allows us to experiment with different versions of layouts to understand how and why users react to these differences. Harnessing the value of Web analytics and what it has to offer your business is highly important; we empower businesses by teaching them what to look for and how to look for it.

Remarketing

Also called ‘retargeting’, remarketing is a popular and effective online marketing technique that allows businesses to reach out to previous visitors to their sites; encouraging them to return and complete an action. We offer Remarketing services, particularly as a follow-on from Web Analytics, to businesses wishing to make the most of what online marketing has to offer. We analyze your requirements and, using cookies, implement what we believe to be the most suitable remarketing strategies – as always, in line with industry best practice and fully POPI-compliant.
